Many people know that there are certain shortcuts you can use on your keyboard to make your computing life just a little bit easier, but not everyone knows all of them. Here is a sampling of some of the most commonly needed and/or used.

Please note that most of these shortcuts work on PCs by pressing down the control <Ctrl> key at the same time as you press another key. If you have a Mac, try using the command key in place of the control key:

<Ctrl> + : Magnifies your screen when you’re on most web pages. Keep holding down the <ctrl> key and hit the + key however many times you need.

<Ctrl> – : Shrinks web page size back down.

<Ctrl> F: Find. Allows you to search a website or document for a particular word or phrase.

<Ctrl> P: Print. Brings up the dialog box for your default printer. Especially useful if you pull up a document that doesn’t have an obvious print icon.
